[ale] Linux Fund Credit Card

[Bob Toxen]

Some of you who got "The Linux Fund" Credit Card offer in the mail today
as I did.  While it promises to donate all kind of money to Linux, it
actually donates so few pennies as to be, IMHO, fraud.  This is similar
to the credit card companies that promise to donate a few pennies to
charity if you spend a thousand dollars through them for your Holiday
shopping.  This offer is by Maryland Bank (MBNA).

I had MBNA some years ago and they refused to remove fraudulent charges
from my account.  It took the effort of the association that I got them
through before this problem was corrected.  I then took my business
elsewhere.

Consider this a disrecommendation.


If you want to help, submit improvements to GPL'ed code, spread the
word or make a tax-deductible donation to any of the organizations
providing open source.  For the Free Software Foundation, see:
